Escape from Camp Run-For-Your-Life was the nineteenth book in the Give Yourself Goosebumps gamebook series. It was preceded by Attack of the Beastly Babysitter and followed by Toy Terror: Batteries Included.

The cover consisted of three zombies sitting around a campfire in a forest, with a pink sky in the background. A camp counselor is in the middle with two zombie children on either side of him. He is holding a stick, that has spiders and worms skewered on it. The tagline was, On your mark. Get set. Scream!

It was released in July 1997 and was 137 pages long.

PlotEdit

You attend a summer sports camp called Camp Running Leaf, that turns out to be run by alien invaders. There is also a mountain known as "Zombie Mountain" nearby, which is aptly named because it's infested with zombies.

Story A involves you being forced to team up with a girl you really do not like (Kim) and having to deal with escaping the zombies.

Story B involves you joining the only other character who has free will, after you pretend to eat the eggs given to you.

Bad EndingsEdit

• Many involve Kim simply ditching you, leaving you to die.
• You switch roles with a skeleton after taking its skull (It turns into a human and you become a living skeleton).
• Eaten by an alligator (2 endings).
• Becoming a slave on the alien planet Xentron.
• The Cemetery Man unleashes zombies on you and Kim.
• A mountain goat ends up kicking you off the edge of a cliff.
• Zombies brutally tear you apart.
• Landing in flames, when you dismount from the parallel bars.
• Uncle Ed captures you for Coach Rex.
• Literally brainwashed into being obedient.
• It is implied that you were eaten by a mountain lion.
• Xentronians attack the Earth and the human race is destroyed.
• The Cemetery Man turns everyone on Earth, including you, into zombies.

Good EndingsEdit

• One actually comes from letting Kim die. Then you find Camp Pendleton, the camp that you were supposed to go to earlier.
• Uncle Ed uses the water pistol to turn the Cemetery Man into a zombie. You receive a huge check and get to go to Camp Pendleton, following the Cemetery Man's capture.
• You escape the camp and run all the way to your friend Coleen's place. You decide to go to computer camp next year.
• You get arrested by a cop and you tell him about Camp-Run-For-Your-Life. A movie maker hears about it and you become the richest kid in America, as you make your own camp.

TriviaEdit

• One interesting choice-making method employed in the book is the requirement to point at a location on a map of the United States.
• There are more than twenty possible endings.
• Oddly, there are no tests based on the Goosebumps book series, despite the fact that there were tons of camp based stories.
• The producer in one of the good endings, who wants to make a movie about the reader's experiences is named Vincent Vealberg.  His last name is probably supposed to sound like "Spielberg", which would make him based on Steven Spielberg, a real life producer. R.L. would later reuse the joke in Into the Twister of Terror.
